Madonna’s Stage Collapses & Kills Two People

Two people were pronounced dead just a couple of hours after the stage for Madonna‘s Sticky & Sweet collapsed in Marseille, France.

The accident didn’t happen while there was a concert on, instead it happened while they were building the stage for her gig in the French city which was to take place on Sunday, July 19th. As of now, eight other people are still in hospital with serious conditions.

Madonna issued a statement through her spokesperson Liz Rosenberg saying “I am devastated to have just received this tragic news, my prayers go out to those who were injured and their families along with my deepest sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news.”

The accident happened after four cranes lifting the stage set roof apparently snapped, sending everything crashing to the stage.

Madonna was playing a concert in Italy last night when the accident took place, she apparently broke down crying and said she was devastated, adding “I ask you for a moment to stop and think of the people who have lost their lives, we need to appreciate life, the people we love and our families.”

City officials of Marseille have now canceled the Madonna concert which was scheduled for Sunday – she next plays on July, 21 in Barcelona, Spain.
